Game of Thrones Director: ‘You’re Not Going to Know What Lyanna Whispered’

R+L=J is finally canon and Game of Thrones writers and director reflect on this big revelation from season 6 finale:

Dan Weiss (Showrunner): The second part of the Tower of Joy is something that hopefully answers a question that lots of people have been wondering about.

Miguel Sapochnik (Director): The secret she whispers into his ear just before she dies? The best way to answer that question is to not answer it. You’re not going to know what she said.

Bryan Cogman (Writer): It seemed appropriate that Bran ends the season starting to take control of his powers and that he learned this information as he is heading south to find his family. At the same time, Jon ascends to being the true leader of the North.

(There is also a fan theory which tries to guess what Lyanna said. Read about it here)

I believe she whispered to him “His Name Snow” – look at her lips language, yet not very sure of (Snow) maybe she meant to tell him that he is a bastard, also a good another reason to Robert to kill him if he finds out, Jon Snow is not Rhaegar’s son, he is a good man considering to what Sir Barristan said to Daenarys and to Jura Mormont also the red viper Oberyn has spoken highly of him and said he was a beautiful and noble man.

Jon Snow IS Rhaegars son. So he’s immoral enough to run away with or “kidnap” Lyanna but moral enough to not conceive a child? They were in LOVE and Rhaegar was obsessed with the prophesies about Azor Ahai…he knew it would be the offspring of a Stark and a Targaryen.

I couldn’t hear what she said because my AC was on so I turned on closed captioning and watched it over again. This shows you most of what she says. I don’t remember the exact words, I’d have to watch it over again, but she says something like: “Robert will kill him ……. you know he will ….. And never tell….. promise me Ned….”. Robert wanted all Targaryens dead so she knows Ned will have to lie to keep Jon alive. Try captioning it.
